4Important Operating Considerations for Safety• Refer to this guide for proper startup and shutdown procedures.• Follow all warnings and cautions in this manual and on the projector.• Place the projector in a horizontal position no greater than 15 degrees off axis.• Locate the projector at least 4' (1.2m) away from any heating or cooling vents.• Do not block ventilation openings. Locate the projector in a well-ventilated area without obstructions to intake or exhaust vents. Do not place the projector on a tablecloth or other soft covering that may block the vents.• Do not place the projector in direct sunlight, humid, greasy or dusty places or in places where the projector may come into contact with smoke or steam.• Do not touch or block the projector lens with any objects as this can damage the projector lens. Scratches, gouges and other lens damage are not covered by the product warranty.• Do not look directly into the lens while the projector is being used.• Do not drop the projector.• Do not spill liquid on the projector. Spilled liquid may damage the projector.• Use the power cord provided. Connect the power cord to a receptacle with a protective safety (earth) ground terminal. A surge-protected power strip is recommended.• Do not overload wall outlets.• When disconnecting the power cord, hold the plug, not the cord.• Wash hands after handling the cables supplied with this product.• The projector remote control uses batteries. Make sure the batteries’ polarity (+/-) is aligned correctly. Dispose of used batteries in accordance with local disposal laws.• Use an InFocus approved ceiling mount kit for proper fitting, ventilation and installation. The warranty does not cover any damage caused by use of non-approved ceiling mount kits or by installing in an improper location. • When the projector is ceiling mounted, wear protective eyewear to prevent eye injury before opening lamp door.• Refer all service to qualified service personnel. Servicing your own projector can be dangerous to you and will void the warranty.• Only use replacement parts specified by InFocus. Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electrical shock, or injury, and may void the warranty• Only genuine InFocus lamps are tested for use in this projector. Use of non InFocus lamps may cause electrical shock and fire, and may void the projector warranty. • Hg – Lamp contains mercury. Manage in accordance with local disposal laws. See wwww.lamprecycle.org.• The projector uses a high-pressure mercury glass lamp. The lamp may fail prematurely, or it may rupture with a popping sound if jolted, scratched, or handled while hot. The risk of lamp failure or rupture also increases as the lamp age increases; please replace the lamp when you see the “Replace Lamp” message.• In the unlikely event of a lamp rupture, particles may exit through the projector vents. Keep people, food, and drinks out of the "keep out" area under and around the projector, as indicated by the "X" areas below.• Follow these instructions to help ensure image quality and lamp life over the life of the projector. Failure to follow these instructions may affect the warranty. For complete details of the warranty, see the Warranty/Safety booklet.5’/1.5m8’/2.4m3’ / 1 m3’ / 1 m2’ / 0.6 m

7Positioning the projectorTo determine where to position the projector, consider the size and shape of your screen, the location of your power outlets, and the distance between the projector and the rest of your equipment. Here are some general guidelines:• Position the projector on a flat surface at a right angle to the screen. IN3924 must be at least 45” (1.0m) from the projection screen, and IN3926 must be at least 51” (1.3m) from the projection screen.• If you are installing the projector on the ceiling, we strongly recommend using InFocus approved ceiling mounts for proper fitting, ventilation and installation. Refer to the installation guide that comes with the InFocus Ceiling Mount Kit (p/n PRJ-MNT-UNIV) for more information. The warranty does not cover any damage caused by use of non-approved ceiling mount kits or by installing in an improper location. To turn the image upside down, see “Ceiling mount” on page 28. We recommend using an InFocus authorized ceiling mount.• Position the projector the desired distance from the screen. The distance from the lens of the projector to the screen and the video format determine the size of the projected image.• The image offset for IN3924 is 115% +/-5%. This means that if you have an image 60 inches (1.5 meters) tall from a table-mounted projector, the bottom of the image will be 9 inches (22.9 cm) above the centerline of the lens. The image offset for IN3926 is 113% +/-5%. This means that if you have an image 60 inches (1.5 meters) tall from a table-mounted projector, the bottom of the image will be 7.8 inches (19.8 cm) above the centerline of the lens.60” image (height)bottom of image 9” above center of lensProjection anglelens centerTTable 1: IN3924 (XGA) Screen size Diagonal Screen Size (inches/m) Size of the Projected Image Width(inches/m)Distance to screen (inches/m)50”/1.3m 40”/1.0m 19”/0.5m60”/1.5m 48”/1.2m 23”/0.6m70”/1.8m 56”/1.4m 27”/0.7m80”/2.0m 64”/1.6m 31”/0.8m100”/2.5m 80”/2.0m 38”/1.0mTable 2: IN3926 (WXGA) Screen size Diagonal Screen Size (inches/m) Size of the Projected Image Width(inches/m)Distance to screen (inches/m)60”/1.5m 51”/1.3m 19”/0.5m70”/1.8m 59”/1.5m 22”/0.6m90”/2.3m 76”/1.9m 29”/0.7m100”/2.5m 85”/2.2m 32”/0.8m120”/3.1m 102”/2.6m 38”/1.0m
